Fifth theft reported from UGA dormitories

University of Georgia Police officers investigating a series of thefts from East Campus Village dormitories Wednesday learned the next day that there's been a fifth, UGA police said.

Students already reported that laptop computers and other electronics valued at nearly $5,000 were taken from their unlocked rooms - one in McWhorter Hall and three in East Campus Building 1512 - between 2 and 9 p.m. Wednesday, police said.

Another student on Thursday reported someone entered his unlocked McWhorter Hall room during that same time period, and a laptop computer valued at $920 was stolen, police said.
